Ghana has introduced a mandatory insurance scheme for all travellers arriving in the country through the country’s main airport.
Popularly known as “Akwaaba”, it is to be supervised by a government-run firm and two other insurers.
All visitors regardless of the duration of stay and nationality will have to get it.
The announcement has been met with criticism from travel sector players and business experts who see the move as just one more hurdle to doing business in the country.
